Description:Elder Letpen and Elder David give names of types of bats in Ninde. This follows a brainstorming session during which a group of elders, including the two speakers, listed up as many animals as they could think of within the category.
Elda Letpen wetem Elda David tufala i talem nem blong ol kaen bat long Ninde. Hem ia i folem taem we tufala wetem sam nara elda i stap tingbaot ol nem blong fulap animol.
This project is concerned with the documentation of Ninde, a threatened Central Malekula (Oceanic) language spoken in five villages in the South West Bay region of Malekula island of Vanuatu. Ninde is almost entirely undocumented; there is a sketch grammar based on data from one young speaker. The language is spoken by at most 1000 people, and in four of the five villages is not being transmitted to children. One of the immediate goals of this project is the community-led creation of an orthography and possibly even pedagogical materials in order to facilitate Ninde-language education and preserve traditional knowledge.
